Abstract

A bio-sample image pickup device includes a light source module, a carrier, an image pickup unit, a first filter set, and a second filter set. The carrier carries the light source module and the bio-sample, and moves between a first position and a second position. The first filter set between the light source module and the image pickup unit for filtering the light emitted by the light source module, and the image pickup unit picks up the image of the bio-sample through the first filter set in the first position. The second filter set in the second position filters the light emitted by the light source module for allowing an operator to see the bio-sample in the second position through the second filter.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A bio-sample image pickup device, comprising:
 a light source module adapted to emit light, allowing the emitted light to be projected onto a bio-sample; 
 a carrier adapted to carry said light source module and said bio-sample, allowing said light source module and said bio-sample to be moved between a first position and a second position; 
 an image pickup unit adapted to pick up the image of said bio-sample in said first position; 
 a first filter set between said light source module and said image pickup unit and adapted to filter the light emitted by said light source module, wherein said image pickup unit picks up the image of said bio-sample in the first position via said first filter; and 
 a second filter set in said second position and adapted to filter the light emitted by said light source module, allowing an operator to see the image of said bio-sample in said second position through said second filter. 
 
     
     
       2. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first filter is mounted on said image pickup unit. 
     
     
       3. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said second filter is angularly adjustable. 
     
     
       4. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said bio-sample is placed on said light source module so that a part of the light emitted by said light source module pass through said bio-sample and the other part of the light emitted by said light source module is converted by said bio-sample into a first light. 
     
     
       5. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said bio-sample is a DNA gel obtained through gel electrophoresis. 
     
     
       6. A bio-sample image pickup device, comprising:
 a light source module adapted to emit light, allowing the emitted light to be projected onto a bio-sample; 
 a carrier adapted to carry said light source module and said bio-sample, allowing said light source module and said bio-sample to be moved between a first position and a second position; 
 an image pickup unit adapted to pick up the image of said bio-sample in said first position; and 
 a filter mounted on said light source module and movable with said light source module between a first position and a second position and adapted to filter the light emitted by said light source module, wherein said image pickup unit adapts to pick up the image of said bio-sample in said first position via said filter and an operator is able to see the image of said bio-sample in said second position via said filter. 
 
     
     
       7. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said bio-sample is placed on said light source module so that a part of the light emitted by said light source module pass through said bio-sample and the other part of the light emitted by said light source module is converted by said bio-sample into a first light. 
     
     
       8. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said bio-sample is a DNA gel obtained through gel electrophoresis. 
     
     
       9. A bio-sample image pickup device, comprising:
 a light source module adapted to emit light, allowing the emitted light to be projected onto a bio-sample; 
 a carrier adapted to carry said light source module and said bio-sample, allowing said light source module and said bio-sample to be moved between a first position and a second position; 
 an image pickup unit adapted to pick up the image of said bio-sample in said first position; and 
 a filter extending from said first position to said second position, wherein said image pickup unit adapts to pick up the image of said bio-sample in said first position via said filter and an operator is able to see the image of said bio-sample in said second position via said filter. 
 
     
     
       10. The bio-sample image pickup device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said bio-sample is placed on said light source module so that a part of the light emitted by said light source module pass through said bio-sample and the other part of the light emitted by said light source module is converted by said bio-sample into a first light.
